Behind the former 2006 world champion, the second option is Antonio Conte, a candidacy advocated by the Serie A League, which sees in the former Napoli coach – unattached and available – the perfect guarantee of recovery for the Azzurri national team. On Sisal.it, the Lecce coach gains positions and, from odds of 12 a few days ago, is now offered at 4.00. Among those rising and falling, the choice of Roberto Mancini remains current, even if he seems to be losing ground. The former Saudi Arabia coach, who stated he was never contacted by the FIGC, doubles his odds from 3.00 to 6.00. In the background of the top three favorites, other names such as Palladino, Pioli, and Motta are all at odds of 16.00.
